Re: Tuba Mailbox
Is it filled with cement and then painted? Good work!

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Yes, its filled with cement and painted. Kids like to run over mailboxes down here for kicks. I wanted to make sure they totaled the car if they try it.Tubajug wrote:Is it filled with cement and then painted? Good work!

Re: Tuba Mailbox
So the last picture shows it complete. To round it out should I put some cheesy fake flowers around the base or a couple of pink flamingos? Help me decide.

Re: Tuba Mailbox
It sounds like it would be a fun idea, but living here in the NorthEast and having a mailbox out on the roadside of my property, it would get demolished by a snow plow in the Winter. You see many folks put up a wood block just before the mailbox in the Winter to avoid your mailbox being 'plowed' and moved to parts unknown....

I'm not sure why you put a mailbox in the bird bath??
I am committed to the advancement of civil rights, minus the Marxist intimidation and thuggery of BLM.

Re: Tuba Mailbox
For the last couple months we have had a succession of mail carriers and the mail has been really screwed up. When I talked to the postmaster about it he explained that we were getting subs because our regular carrier was on a sabatical in Italy.
